The Ultra System- Mold Management Made Easy

How important is protecting your deck from mold? Very. Anything exposed to the outdoor environment can grow mold... and your decking is no exception. That's why we created, The Ultra System. It's a two-part system that not only delivers the deepest clean for the toughest jobs but also protects your wood or composite deck so the mold doesn't come back. If you're tired of fighting mold year after year or want to prevent it even before it begins, The Ultra System is the perfect choice for long-term protection.

How does it work?

UltraMean2 is a non-toxic peroxide based cleaner that works to break up and remove the mold and grime from the decking while delivering a deep clean without harsh chemicals that can damage the deck or the surrounding plants. Once the deck is clean, apply UltraBan. UltraBan's advanced barrier film will the control the moisture and deny access to mold’s food source- the materials inside your deck! One easy application of UltraBan is all it takes for year-long protection! See application instructions below.

Follow the steps below for step-by-step guide on how easy it is to clean and protect your deck: If you have noticed mold growth or staining commonly called 'leopard spots' beginning to appear on your deck, the mold must be removed from the deck before you can protect it. Let us walk you through how The Ultra System works. The first step in The Ultra System is to clean and brighten your deck with UltraMean2. Follow the instructions below to begin:

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

You will need the following items: The Ultra System, soft bristle scrub brush, garden pump sprayer, bucket and something to mix with, a garden hose, gloves and protective eyewear.

PREP YOUR DECK!

Remove any furniture or plants off the deck. Sweep any dirt or debris off the deck including any buildup between the deck boards.

MEASURE

UltraMean2 is a (sodium percarbonate) dry powder concentrate that is mixed with water before use. You can easily use the cap and label guide to measure the strength and amount you may need.

Mix

After you determine the desired strength and quantity, mix the UltraMean2 with water, (appropriate amount of water will be on the label) until all granules are dissolved.

STIR AND DISSOLVE

Mix and stir until all granules have been dissolved. TIP: UltraMean2 works best with HOT water!

TRANSFER

When mixture is ready, transfer UltraMean2 to the garden sprayer and apply to the deck surface.

LET IT WORK!

UltraMean2 is a powerful peroxide based cleaner. Just like hydrogen peroxide, UltraMean2 will "foam and bubble" working to pull up and remove mold from deep inside your deck. It will also make your deck shine as it cleans and brightens the surface. Let the product sit for 15-30 minutes for really dirty decks or until satisfied with the results.

SCRUB

Give it some elbow grease! For tough areas or staining, use the soft bristle scrub brush to help break up tough stains.

RINSE & LET DRY

Once your deck is completely dry, you can now apply UltraBan to protect it.

UltraBan

UltraBan can be easily applied with a garden sprayer or sponge mop. After application, it's invisible barrier will dry clear and provide a layer of protection against mold and mildew growth.

Why is mold growing on your deck? Mold only needs a few requirements to grow, (water, warm temperatures and organic food source) and if conditions are favorable, the mold will feed on the wood inside your deck. Much like a plant, mold will root into a surface. The porous nature of composite decking provides the perfect hiding place for mold to germinate and grow.

Once mold has begun to root and feed on the wood fibers inside the deck, the plastics exposed to the mold will absorb the green moldy color and become stained. If this happens and is left untreated, it can become very hard to remove. If your composite decking is showing signs of mold growth, it should be cleaned A.S.A.P. The sooner you remove the mold, the less damage and staining it's likely to cause. The Ultra System helps prevent this from happening.

Chlorine bleach is extremely damaging to decking materials and will often make a mold problem worse.

TOP TIP: It is never advised to use a bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite) based deck cleaner on composite decking. Chlorine bleach is extremely caustic and will fade, corrode and eventually damage your deck beyond repair. If you do not use a peroxide bleach such as UltraMean2 to clean your deck, you can use a mild dish detergent and water. It is less effective on tough stains but much safer than chlorine bleach.
